Re: dissapointments

[(Anonymous)]

... So, the last time my 5-year-old lil relative visited, she was obsessed with finding the perfect skirt. We went shopping a few times, but nothing was "right" and she couldn't quite articulate what she wanted. Finally, I told her to draw it, and that I'd keep looking after she went home. Meanwhile, I got some of the more sewing able family involved; I seriously nagged people that we had to make this thing. Got people to go to the fabric store and pick the perfect colours. Borrowed the neighbor's sewing machine. Got my mom to take hours out of her time visiting me to hem it. Picked out the finidngs and finished it. Wrapped it, with the original sketch, and was hoping for JOY.


and...

... yeah, she had no memory of the sketch, or the skirt, and was pretty much underwhelmed. "Oh, a skirt, thank you."

and I know she's a child and their memories are short, and I know it's not personal, and I know that just because I have seriously sharp memories of wishing wishing wishing for things nad never getting them it doesn't mean that I have to try and fulfill everyone's wishes but....

I'm still overwhelmingly SAD. Which is irrational, because she did like it and it is nice and I wanted her to have it. But I guess my hormones think I promissed them a high, and since they didn't get it, they have decided to crash BIG TIME.

Aww, I'm sorry, anon. It's perfectly normal to feel sad and hurt even though you know your relative didn't mean to hurt you since she's just a kid. My nephew loves anime and Funko Pops. There was one particular one he wanted, so I searched on numerous websites until I found one for a decent price. When I gave it to him, he just looked at it and muttered, "Thanks", then ran off to go play with his friends. His mom later told me he didn't like that show anymore.

Oh damn, that's brutal. :( It was incredibly good and sweet of you to do this for your relative, though. I would've loved it as a kid if anyone had paid such careful attention to my wished-for things.
